Digital pins:
• 14 digital IO pins
• 6 are PWM pins (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11).

Analog pins:
• 6 analog pins(A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, and
A5)
• Takes analog values as an input

 Basic Coding structure
 setup() function
• Called when a sketch starts.
• To initialize variables, pin modes, start using libraries, etc.
• Will only run once, after each power-up or reset of the
Arduino board.
 loop() function
• Loops consecutively.
• Code in the loop() section of the sketch is used to actively
control the Arduino board.
 Commenting
• Any line that starts with two slashes (//) will not be read by
the compiler, so you can write anything you want after it.

10
 pinMode()
• Instruction used to set the mode (INPUT or OUTPUT) in
which we are going to use a pin.
• Eg: pinMode (13, OUTPUT);
• ie. setting pin13 as output.

 digitalWrite()
• Write a HIGH or a LOW value to a digital pin.
• Eg: digitalWrite (11, HIGH);
• ie. setting pin 11 to high.

11
 digitalRead()
• Reads the value from a specified digital pin,
either HIGH or LOW
• Eg: int inPin=7;
val = digitalRead(inPin);
• ie. reads the value from inPin and assigns it to val.

 delay()
• Pauses the program for the amount of time (in milliseconds)
specified as parameter.
• Eg: delay(1000);
• ie. waits for a second (1000 ms = 1 s)
